Cover Reveal for Yetunde: An Ode to my Mother by Segilola Salami!

It's party time!

Why, you ask? Because this is a cover reveal party!

My author friend Segilola Salami is releasing her book Yetunde: An Ode to My Mother in paperback for the first time! And she's got a brand spanking new cover, which I have the honor of revealing on my blog today.

First, though, here's a little background about Yetunde: An Ode to My Mother.

Yetunde: An Ode to My Mother is a stand alone book from Yetunde: The Life and Times of a Yoruba Girl in London (1). You may think of it as book 1.5, as in this book Yetunde is slightly older.
It is a heart-warming story about the power of a mother's love; truly an ode to women and mothers all over the world. It is a captivating and emotional story that talks about love and loss!
Follow Yetunde as she narrates her mother's ode to her grandmother. It is the Yoruba praise poetry for a mother known as Oriki Iya. Yetunde is also thrilled and delighted by the ancient Yoruba tale passed down to her by her mother about Labakẹ, a young maiden who was kidnapped to be forced to marry a warrior king. Will Iya Labakẹ save her child in time? Is Iya Labakẹ a just a simple defenceless mother? Or ...?
This is a short story dedicated to past, present and future mothers, a perfect Mother's day present!
The book is mostly in English and all Yoruba words are translated, so everyone can enjoy the book fully.

I've read Yetunde: An Ode to My Mother myself, and I can tell you right now that it is a truly charming book. You can read my full review on Goodreads, but basically what I said was that the book is lovely, but would be better as a hard copy rather than an ebook.

And now, what do you know? It is a hard copy!

So , without further ado, let's reveal the new book cover for Yetunde: An Ode to My Mother!

You saw it here first, guys :)

Now, no party would be complete without party favors. So we've made a special Yetunde: An Ode to My Mother bookmark for you to print out and keep! It features the new book cover, and the Oriki Iya poem in both Yoruba and English.
